The story levels:
Definitely some fun levels through the story it is really fun going through them and doesn't feel like a long time for me when you play through them all. It is nice that you can play free mode after you completed the level in story mode. It gives you the opportunity to find secrets in levels and to unlock all items/achievements that the game offers.
The achievements:
I love that every level gives you an achievement but you also have some harder achievements like completing the whole game 100% which is a little bit more challenging and will take you some more time. Makes it a little bit harder and gives you a great reason to keep playing the game for a longer time. Until the 100%
The graphics:
For a lego game the graphics are definitely not bad they are very good for only lego characters and a lego world.
The characters:
There are a lot of characters that you can unlock which is really nice if you recognize some from the Star wars franchise. It is also really nice that you can purchase some dlc packs to unlock more characters gives you more characters to play with through the game.
The game in general and would i recommend it?
I would definitely recommend it if you are into Lego games or if you are really into Star wars. It has many things to unlock and is fun to play through. You can visit islands to do missions which means you do not always have to do the story levels. It is really nice because you can go through the game at your own pace.

another fantastic lego game. there are a few bugs but not a huge issue. having already played the skywalker saga, i was worried some of the levels or content would be duplicated, or the game wouldn't be as fulfilling, but the levels were totally unique and were extremely immersive, whilst also having various missions in the open world to keep you busy. the game follows almost every scene in the film, there are 10x story levels + epilogue that directly relate to this film (7), but there is also a prologue which covers the finals events is film 6 which was a nice surprise. in addition, there are 6x adventure levels which you gradually unlock as you collect more gold bricks. the levels aren't specifically in the film, but are events that are mentioned by characters, so you get to see things from a new perspective. the rathtar hunting was my favourite level!
its also worth noting that 20 achievements relate to the dlc levels. there are 4x individual levels you can purchase, which have 5x achievements each, so achievement hunters may want to bear this in mind if you're looking to get 100%.

9/10 I can honestly say I had fun playing this game. When I originally played this on PS4 I didn't like it, and I don't remember why. This game's comedy was better than a lot of the other Lego games, and the levels were all pretty reasonable in length. My only issues with this game was one or two buggy achievements and a similar dreadful experience for collectibles (similar to Skywalker Saga). Fun game. (also Boba Fett and General Grievous)

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens has to be the most fun, creative and reinvigorated Lego game I have played in YEARS. Comparing it to Lego Marvel's Avengers, The Lego Movie Videogame 2 and other recent Lego games.... LST:TFA shows the most affection towards its source material and sticks close to the dialogue from the film using all of this effectively. Below I will state why I think this is the best Lego game I have played in years and any issues I encountered, so, let's get to it.
Pros/Why it is the BEST Lego game in a long time
⚫So first of all, the game follows the film perfectly. While not rushing the player at all. So what I am saying is that the game is really well-paced.
⚫The game uses Dialogue from the movie REALLY, REALLY well. It is not over-used, stupidly loud or even bad (like audio issues e.t.c) it has been done to utmost perfection.
⚫The gags and goofs along the way really made me chuckle from time to time, and this... this is what Traveller's Tales has lost with most recent Lego games. In this game the WHIMSICAL love of Lego gags and goofs are amazing!
⚫The puzzles in this game and their solutions are STELLAR. Coming from Lego Avengers to this... felt like I was dreaming. Using BB-8s ability to open up a door, charge a generator and much much more felt unique. Using Reys staff to make "swing poles" and then using her agility to swing over... aw man... all of the characters abilities felt unique and fun to play.
⚫The game adds in this amazing mechanic, COVER-BASED shootouts that made me feel like I was playing "Gears of War" for the first time again. While doing this you are building up a special attack bar and based on who you are using, it gives that character a cool-looking unique attack.
⚫The game has FLYING levels which are pure fun and frantic! You can engage in open-air dogfights, air races and generally, mow down Tie-Fighters.
⚫Game had Z E R O performance issues whatsoever. No lagging, crashing, stuttering, freezing e.t.c... I was absolutely amazed with how optimised this game was.
⚫The game is filled with cute, smart nods to the Star Wars franchise which kept me playing till my 100%.
⚫You get secret missions which add on to the story which fill certain gaps that was left out of the movie. For example - Poe to the rescue, where Poe goes to rescue Admiral Ackbar. (there are so many more to mention but this was the most memorable)
⚫Has the amazing Star Wars theme and the Mos Eisley Cantina Theme that we have all known to love! (its a little secret mission for the Cantina Theme)
⚫Fantastic COOP! You are not left bored or useless as the "second player".
Cons/Issues?
⚫2 or 3 puzzle mechanics got dull and boring fast. Using an imperial trooper or resistance member on a terminal to make a "holographic stormtrooper" to enter a door. Using C-3PO to listen to "alien language" or even using him to make that alien language on a terminal.
⚫Not all DLC is included in the SEASON PASS. This really got on my nerves as I had to purchase extra DLC to 100% my game (all achievements).
My Verdict
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is probably the BEST Lego game I have player yet. I have had the most fun in this Lego game. The story is amazing with fun puzzles and dense levels filled with quips, gags and goofs to go along with them! What an amazing Lego game!
EDIT: LEGO® STAR WARS™: The Force Awakens did not take me 60.2 hours to complete 100%. My actual 100% playtime is 24.2. This was caused by an issue with my last PC that would not let me shut my game down.
9/10! Traveller's Tales, this is how you make a lego game! This game has the magic to go with it!!

FIRST AND FOREMOST to 100% the game you must own most DLC's, even including the "phantom limbs" DLC that is NOT in the season pass, i personally didn't mind but there are people who don't hence why i mentioned ìt.
i really enjoyed playing through this all from start to finish there was always something new to discover and find out which i loved the concept of so much and really made 100%ing it worth it.
i didn't really get any crashes until the last couple hours of my play through but from what recent reviews say the game is currently bugged and needs to be patched, overall it wasn't anything that made my experience unplayable or had anything reset which is another thing i dearly loved about this game, its save feature was really good and very on point with picking up where i last was (i seem to play a lot of games with shitty save features lol).
the game play is good but i wish more cut scenes were skippable the game felt like 40% cut scenes which you know during my 1st play through i loved that the game expressed its story line in a good manner along with some humour in between but for 100%ing the game you have to play through every mission 2 times which by that point it was mildly frustrating having to sit and watch again.
as mentioned, you had to purchase the phantom limb DLC separately from the season pass which just was a bit stupid to not include it with the season pass.
other then that i do recommend this game.

Reminds me of the classic lego licensed games prior to voice acting. Its a broken, glitchy and buggy mess thats fairly short and able to be completed to 100% in less than 24 hours and little guidance while enjoying a legoified take on a licensed product.
If you have seen TFA and the last 40 minutes of Return of the Jedi you know about everything that happens, but there are a few DLC stories, whether theyre canon or not, they do flesh out the moments before the acts of TFA as you learn the Tale of the Red Arm and Admiral Ackbar's adventures.
If youre a lego and star wars addict, it can be worth a play on sale. but expect to have to save and quit a lot like i did......
